The tenth warehouse at 7R Park Kraków is ready

I remember my first meetings with 7R CEO Tomasz Lubowiecki, when we discussed our joint plans: those of the Wieliczka local government and 7R. After five years of operation in the Wieliczka Economic Activity Zone, I can say that the strength of this place lies precisely in the presence of 7R. Good planning—both short- and long-term—has shown us what an effective public-private partnership looks like. The Wieliczka Economic Activity Zone is our shared success, both economically and in human terms—through job creation. World Youth Day in 2016 and the preparations for this event had specific goals. First: bringing together young people from around the world with Pope Francis; and second: leveraging the potential of these preparations for the economic development of the city and municipality of Wieliczka. Five years later, we can say that these goals have been achieved. I would also like to highlight the social dimension of this place. Alongside the economic zone, a support zone for people in need was established: the House of Mercy, the Youth Center, and the Caritas Center of the Archdiocese of Kraków. From these locations, aid is delivered daily to various parts of the Małopolska region. Today, the Wieliczka Economic Activity Zone serves as a model example of an economic zone that delivers both economic and social benefits.

An excellent location, rapid project implementation, and—above all—flexibility during negotiations were the key factors in our decision to move to 7R Park Kraków in 2019. Through a multi-level racking system design and a proprietary system for storing and transporting goods to packing stations, the leased facility has been tailored to the processes involved in online sales. Our rapid growth has led us to decide this year to expand the mezzanine in our current warehouse and simultaneously lease new space at 7R Park Kraków. It is worth noting that we are the largest employer in the Park—we employ several hundred people, and recruitment is ongoing. Work in the warehouse of an online fashion store is relatively light, which is why we seek out and hire both women and men and strive to provide everyone with comfortable and friendly working conditions. Our close cooperation with the Municipality of Wieliczka, based on mutual trust and partnership, is also significant.

I am particularly grateful that, thanks to our long-standing cooperation with the authorities in Wieliczka, we are able to expand our warehouse portfolio with new buildings and help stimulate the local economy and job market. As a developer, we aim to implement innovations that transform the warehouse market in Poland. A holistic approach to project design, which respects nature and local communities, is a key element of our business strategy. We currently have over 1.6 million square meters under development across the country. We strive to ensure that our warehouse facilities not only meet the specific expectations of tenants but also minimize the project’s impact on the surrounding environment. As one of the fastest-growing players in the Polish warehouse market, we feel committed to promoting the highest standards of sustainable construction throughout the country. Progress in this area would not be possible without the completion of projects such as the one in Kokotów.
